Tomorrow will be a busy day for “Daily Voting News.” Depending on the number of reports of failures of voting machines around the country we may send out two issues of the news tomorrow. One will be around Noon Pacific and the second at our regular 4PM Pacific time. Let’s hope that this will not be necessary and that there are no reports of poll sites that didn’t open on time, long lines due to machine failures, voters turned away from the polls without voting due, “vote flipping”, or any other malfunctions or “glitches”.

Two days ago, in this space, I talked about Liberty voting machines and how they had been banned even in their home country, The Netherlands. Late this afternoon a judge in New York found that the state must allow these same machines to be sold in the state. Maybe the judge needs to take a trip and talk to officials in The Netherlands, Germany, and Ireland?

As usual, links to all of today's notable voting news stories, follow below...

I hadn’t seen this yet in your daily voter roundup, but it looks like John Gideon caught the same Feb. 2 Associated Press article in the Indianapolis Star. This is a big deal:

While the Indiana voter ID case is being deliberated by the Supreme Court, it looks like the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, on behalf of the Republicans in power in this state, appears to be getting ready implement Phase II of the Indiana voter suppression plan.

According to the article,

The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles could revoke driver's licenses for as many as 56,000 people later this month after a database check showed discrepancies in some of their information.

The state also will send notices warning of a similar revocation to about 35,000 people with identification cards. But the actual totals probably will be smaller in both cases. …

The BMV started a verification project in November that involved matching its records with a Social Security Administration database. It checked more than 6 million records and found 206,000 cases where its data didn't match the Social Security information.

As most here probably know, a valid driver’s license is an acceptable form of ID under the Indiana voter ID law, and for those that have them, this law does not create much of a burden.

As Brad and many others have pointed out before, the law is aimed at making voting much more difficult for those who don’t own driver’s licenses. Phase II is obviously about increasing the population of those who don’t own driver’s licenses by about 100,000 or so.

Could the Indiana Republicans’ truly reprehensible intentions behind the voter ID law be made any clearer with this latest gambit?

Ya know Brad, I see this blog as a great metaphor of the NEW YORK GIANTS! Alot of hard working people with heart, some would call misfits and some would call characters. But truely, the best facts seen amongst bs patriot spies.
